    x86/asm/tsc: Add rdtscll() merge helper · 99770737
    Ingo Molnar authored
    Some in-flight code makes use of the old rdtscll() (now removed), provide a wrapper
    for a kernel cycle to smooth the transition to rdtsc().
    
    ( We use the safest variant, rdtsc_ordered(), which has barriers - this adds another
      incentive to remove the wrapper in the future. )
